DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

There are no groups for GSM specifically, so check out Engineers, Snipe Moms(enginers), and Snipe Moms.  Since A School is at GL, check out Great Lakes A School Q&A and GL A-school moms.  Some other sites to check out are Training-Support-Center-TSC-Great-Lakes Facebook Page and Training-Support-Center-TSC-Great-Lakes Brochure.

Scroll up to number 78.  I just finished revising the list. Good luck to your daughter. Please besure you join the Boot Camp Moms group and her PIR group.

Good going. I see you are from CA. There are quite a few CA group - although the ones in So Cal are not a active as the two from North Cal - we have biggers mouths. You are welcome to hang with us. We have many members (out of the 350) from So Cal. In fact, one of them came up here for one of our meet and greets. Here is the link - it's a private group (comments viewable by members only) in case you want to join.

What job in the Navy has to do with the media?

Permalink Reply by lemonelephant on November 9, 2012 at 7:03pm

That would most likely be Mass Communication Specialist (MC).  The groups for that are Mass Communication Specialist and Parents whose Sailors are stationed at FT. Meade.  Here is the link to the Fact Sheet.

My daughter will be an Aviation Structural Mechanic.  I think that the abbreviation is AM.  I don't see this group .  Can you help?

There is not a group for just that rating. In addition to the groups BQB indicated, check out Naval Aviation and Parents of A School Sailors in Pensacola. The Rating Information Card for that rating can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/am.pdf. If you find enough people who are interested in starting a group, you or one of them can start a group and let us know.

I wouldn't bother with the Naval Aviation group - mostly for families with pilots (majority officers).

OK..:)

Okay , I will look at those groups you suggested and let you know about starting a group.  I am so new that I don't know what to do to start one.
